She Devils of the SS

They have returned to the Lem's Levity blog. Demanding obeisance. Even on our little blog they come in to demand conformity to the dictates of the government. Lately we have been getting obscene posts from a new troll (Or an old troll making a new appearance in a new guise):

I don't see him smiling so much, lately.

You really think Trump can win re-election by firing the infectious disease expert in his government? Which infectious disease expert would he replace him with? Or is none even better?

Not sure how much more he can politicize this - at least to his benefit. Support from seniors for Trump just dropped 20%. I think they're going to go with the medical advice on this one, not the armed goofballs marching on state capitols or governors talking about how many people it would be nice to see die so that some manicurists and nail salons will somehow carry their economy and therefore our wealth and "way of life."

Later she attacked Sixty Grit in another thread. We were doing so well here. We had left the detritus of the foul noxious TOP behind. I understand that they upped their game and started deleting  more commentors in their continuing and futile attempt to stifle free speech. So they search out other venus. You what these witless apes are?

A virus.

Luckily we won't close down and destroy our blog. We continue as free Americans. At least as long as the government will allow it.

What The Hell Is Wrong With Old Men?

My starting answer/offer is a Max von Sydow monologue from Woody Allen's "Hannah And Her Sisters" (You can listen to the clip/rant here, but I can't embed it).

You missed a very dull TV show on Auschwitz. More gruesome film clips, and more puzzled intellectuals declaring their mystification over the systematic murder of millions. The reason they can never answer the question ‘How could it possibly happen?’ is that it’s the wrong question. Given what people are, the question is ‘Why doesn’t it happen more often?’
You see the whole culture — Nazis, deodorant salesmen, wrestlers, beauty contests, talk shows. Can you imagine the level of a mind that watches wrestling? But the worst are the fundamentalist preachers. Third grade con men telling the poor suckers that watch them that they speak with Jesus, and to please send in money. Money, money, money! If Jesus came back and saw what’s going on in his name, he’d never stop throwing up.

Answer how a man can get like that, and you'll have your answer, Lindyhop.*

The Grand Inquisitrix

'For now' (she is speaking of the Inquisition, of course) 'for the first time it has become possible to think of the happiness of men. Man was created a rebel; and how can rebels be happy? Thou wast warned,' she says to Him. 'Thou hast had no lack of admonitions and warnings, but Thou didst not listen to those warnings; Thou didst reject the only way by which men might be made happy. But, fortunately, departing Thou didst hand on the work to us, the DNC. Thou hast promised, Thou hast established by Thy word, Thou hast given to us the right to tax and to untax, to bind and to unbind, to feed, to clothe, and to heal. Man does not live by blog alone.  And now, of course, Thou canst not think of taking it away. Why, then, hast Thou come to hinder us?'
